Western Kentucky University offers manageable interest-free monthly payment plans
through our partnership with #1 rated Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Students
and their parents have the option of choosing a semester payment plan for the current
semester in which the student is enrolled.

Payment plans are not available for the winter or summer terms.

TMS does not have access to Western Kentucky University student account information.
When you contract to pay through TMS, they will set up the plan for any amount you
request. It is imperative for the student to carefully plan their budget for each
semester, taking into consideration all educational expenses incurred and any estimated
deductions (i.e. financial aid, scholarships, etc). Please check your TopNet account
periodically to make certain your TMS budget covers all of your expenses. You can
adjust your budget with TMS at any time.

The payment plans are available for a nominal enrollment fee and includes personal
account service and automated account information 24 hours a day. Visit Tuition Management
Systems online at https://wku.afford.com or call 800-722-4867 for more information on payment plan options, free education
payment counseling and the many ways they can help you afford education.

Enrollment Fees: A non-refundable application fee of $45 is required with each enrollment each semester.
This fee must be included with the completed enrollment.

Late Payment Fees: Failure to remit payment to TMS by the due date specified in your payment agreement
may result in a late payment fee assessed by TMS.
